The Cartel, the Coke and the Murdered Witness | Inside the Madlanga Commission
Murder and Mayhem: South African True CrimePlay episode
Show notes
Welcome to Episode 53 of the official Murder & Mayhem: South African True Crime podcast.
About this episode:
The headlines have been everywhere, but what exactly is the Madlanga Commission, why was it established and why has it captured the attention of South Africans?
In this episode, I unpack the events that led to the commission, explain who the key players are, and explore the allegations, testimony, and evidence presented during the hearings so far. I also separate confirmed facts from allegations to help you better understand what has happened, what is currently being investigated, and why it matters.
If you've been struggling to keep up with the news or you're hearing about the commission for the first time, this episode will give you the context you need to understand one of South Africa's most significant public inquiries.
Please note that this episode is based on publicly available information, evidence presented before the commission, and reputable media reporting. Unless otherwise stated, allegations discussed remain allegations and should not be interpreted as findings of guilt.
In this episode, we cover:
• What the Madlanga Commission is
• Why it was established
• The events that led to the inquiry
• The key individuals involved
• The evidence and testimony presented so far
• Why these hearings are so significant for South Africa
• What comes next
